Missouri Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

I often wish that I could see my old hometown once more 

The old red school I went to with the little girl next door 

I see that stopper bobbin' when the catfish start to bite 

I see a blue sky framin' little clouds of snowy white 

Missouri, I hear you callin' me 

Missouri, you'll never let me be 

Missouri, I know I can't be free 

My heart will yearn till I return 

Missouri's callin' me 

In memory I still can see that oak tree on the lawn 

And hear again the birds as sing and woke me at the dawn 

And I remember mornings when I told my mother lies 

So I could have a second helping of her apple pies 

Missouri, I hear you callin' me 

Missouri, you'll never let me be 

Missouri, I know I can't be free 

My heart will yearn till I return 

Missouri's callin' me
